Manual working washing machine.

Louise from Tauwhare

Portable manual clothes washer - I don't know its brand but it is like EZYwash. If you google Ezywash it will show you better information.

If you google Ezywash it will show you better information. This one is missing it's handle, but you just spin the whole thing, which is easy. This model does not have the tap at the bottom, but you just drain it through the top which means you don't have to wait whilst it does it itself. These are great for camping, or for really dirty wash that you don't want to put in your regular washing machine. Uses less laundry detergent than normal and they are pressurised, when you screw up the lid. A very successful wash, rinse, but not an electric spinner! I sometimes finish off in my big machine on spinner only. Very good if you just have a medium to small load wash but urgent, or for the winter wool socks etc to go in a different load. As I have two of these, I do not have a purpose for this one any more. Keeps the power bill down.
I am on the road for a job, so it is possible I could meet in a Hamilton car park, otherwise pick up is near Tauwhare Pa. I could maybe do my shopping in Cambridge and meet there but at my convenience. And not a personal delivery to your door. I can tell you more detail in how to use it, upon purchase.

This course provides participants with the background necessary to make sense of the news and to understand the science behind the climate change debate. We’ll also discuss how climate change deniers and conspiracy theorists use facts to undermine the truth of our current situation here on Planet Earth.

This course is targeted for every person on the planet who is curious and wants to learn something new or a new way to think about our planet. This class is not for scientists. Suitable for anyone in high school to 90+.

Delivered as eight weekly 1.5-hour live interactive sessions via Zoom, or as video recorded sessions posted 1-2 days after each class.

Instructor: This course is taught by Shifra Gassner, MA. For the last five years, Shifra has been teaching a class called Earth Space Science to high school students in Iowa, USA. During this time she has honed in on what exactly a person needs in order to understand what is happening in the world right now in terms of global climate change. Many adults have asked about the subject matter she teaches. Only recently has Earth Science been taught at a high school level and a person may or may not have taken an Earth Science class while at University. What Shifra teaches is what a lot of people missed along the way during their formal education years. She feels strongly that with knowledge comes power and the motivation to act. She has taught many different levels and subjects over the past 20 years. She loves teaching science, especially the nature and process of science and loves nature. She spends a lot of her time outdoors painting landscapes whenever she can.
